Murrietta Crit

Well I sat in and saved myself for the final 3rd of the race (the last 20 minutes). I never felt that good unless they were going slower. With 20 minutes to go James Enright went to the front with a teammate.  James is really strong/fast so I followed him up and was in the top 10 quickly they then proceeded to turn on the gas and we held 32 mph for 2.5 minutes. It was windy up there and suddenly I remembered why I was hiding near the back.  Within that lap I was burning lots of matches (energy/efforts) I came unglued and slid to the back hanging on for on more lap before I popped off. I am very disappointed, even a little angry.  Need more speed!!

the night before

Well tomorrow is the start of the  tour de murietta. I don't have jitters but I am expectant.  I hope to do well, as I have worked towards this race.  So if your reading pray for me. I'll try not to stress and just do what I am supposed to.

This is a random thoughts post while listening to Josh Garrels

Hope this is not to confusing but here we go

I am swollen up with me All my feelings All my emotions 

And the violin in my ear Keeps murmuring the same note 

The same feelings The ones that are making me feel swollen

I am blank and I am filled 

I am filled with Joy and Sorrow 

 Crying and pitiful I am 

I feel all of there pain and I understand

The pain of those who attack you

I have been attacked 

I want to hold you I want to love you  

I want to comfort you  I want to protect you

Oh little children I love you

And still I fall so short 

And but for his grace 

do I hold and cling to his merciful being
